Had a Demo Day at my local range on Randall's Island this morning and they offered a 10 minute tracking station session with one of the teaching Pros as part of a $25 deal (Large bucket w/130 balls, raffle entry, demos, hot dog and a drink, as well as the session.) Got my numbers checked . 10 minutes doesn't seem like a lot but it was plenty to hit about 10 7 irons and 10 drivers with a bit of an explanation on the numbers and results. It was also supposed to include a "mini-lesson" with the tracking but I think he realized that I didn't really need or want something that might mess me up. Afterwards he sent me a spread sheet with the numbers. Shots 9,10, 11 were a goof- forgot to change settings from iron to driver. Only real comment he made was that my "smash factor" was a tad low on the irons but good on the Driver. Overall, I'm pretty pleased. (Columns don't line up exactly right, but you'll figure it out.)

Oh, if this is in the wrong area, feel free to put it in the right spot.

This is really annoying. Can't get the "Total" column to show up... It shows in the creating window but not in the final window. Even tried to shrink the text.

Good swings! I like the launch angle with the driver. Only thing that I'd pick up on is that a good fitter could probably gain you some yards by cutting down the spin rate with the driver. Looks nice and consistent though, keep it up!

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

Thanks. and yes- as unbelievable as it seems the last two were identical. We BOTH looked at it a couple of times on the machine AND his tablet. Now- whether they actually were identical or a glitch, that's what was recorded. <Shrug>

    • Day 21 - 2026-01-10 More mirror work focused on hip. 
    • I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.  
    • Day 150 1-10 focus on arching the wrist and getting the ball to go left. Recorded, hit foam balls. 
    • Day 467 - 2026-01-10 Practiced at Pinehurst every day I was there, and before Junior Elite this morning I got fifteen minutes of backswing checks in the mirror in.
